Community Sports Programs

Community Sports Links Programs 

It's great to hear that many of our students are involved in community sports programs after school or on weekends. Some students are involved in mainstream sports, and others in All Abilities sports programs. 

Here is a list of some All Abilities Sports programs that we often hear about. Feel free to email me any other great programs you might be accessing for your own child, and we can continue to build our support network for All Abilities sports and programs for other families to explore.
